As I was looking at your lyrics, I again noticed Terrorbird, and I saw Dark Dark Dark, which reminded me of their song, Daydreaming. I would hear that, in Jacksonville, and just ache with memories of Israel.
The train ride from Tel Aviv to J'lem was filled with such marvels I can scarcely describe, and a gloss would neither do them justice, nor convey their impact upon me, but the two which most stand out are:
The old Ottoman rail system which hugged the cliffs round; unimaginably difficult terrain, and what it took to build it then, and,
The ancient -- truly Ancient terraces built on the hillsides, for miles. The lyrics and music of Daydreaming give but a gentle hint of my deep love for that land of my forefathers.
Think of a place I would go
I'm daydreamin'
Where the sycamore grow
I'm daydreamin'
And oh if you knew what it meant to me
Where the air was so clear
Oh if you knew what it meant to me
Anywhere but here
Oh now look to the east
Great mountains remember me
Oh I wound around you for miles
I sat down right there and stretched my bones
And oh if you knew what it meant to me
Oh if you knew what it meant to me
Oh if you knew what it meant to me
You would see, too
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the unspeakable things
It's land I can see for miles
With only the wind whispering
Land I can see for miles
With only the wind whispering
Oh land I can see for miles
With only the wind whispering
Oh I'd run as fast as I can
The land I can see for miles
Oh I'm searching
With only the wind whispering
Oh if you knew what it meant to me
Oh if you knew what it meant to me
Oh if you knew what it meant to me
You would see, too
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the unspeakable things
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the unspeakable things
Oh the unspeakable things
Oh the unspeakable things
Well, Love, I just thought I would share that with you.
Missing you terribly,
Kiss,
-K
